How To Measure Your Aluminum Frame With Vinyl Straps

How To Measure Your Aluminum Frame With Vinyl Straps For New Outdoor Replacement Cushions

 Measure The Width Of The Patio Chair Or Chaise Lounge Frame

Your new replacement cushion must fit in between the arms of your patio chair or chaise lounge frame. This is the maximum width for your new replacement outdoor cushion. Choose the width that works best for your chair frame. Take the width measurement between the arms if possible. If your chaise or chair has no arms, then measure the width from edge to edge of the frame.

Measure The Seat Depth

To determine the seat depth of your new replacement cushion, measure from the front edge of the patio chair or chaise to the back. You may or may not have a well-defined point where the cushion should end. Do your best to find the area of the chair where the hinge or bend in the cushion should fall. If you would like your new replacement cushion to extend further over the front edge, then adjust your measurement accordingly and add an inch or two to the seat depth.

Measure The Back Height

The next step is to determine how tall or the height of the back of the cushion on your patio chairs or chaises. Place your measuring tape at the top of the chair frame. Choose the point where you would like your new patio cushion to start. Measure down the frame to the point where you feel the hinge or pivot point of the cushion should be. Some patio chairs may not have a well-defined area to measure. If you want your new replacement cushion to extend above the top of the chaise or chair frame, please adjust your measurements accordingly and add to the cushion back
height dimension as needed. If you are measuring for a chaise lounge with vinyl straps, you can easily find the
pivot point or hinge area. Place your measuring tape at the hinge point and measure to the top of the back. If you want the cushion to extend the chaise lounge frame, adjust your measurements accordingly.
